Access to Higher Education with Inspire Learning
13th July 2020
With regret, due to the current Coronavirus situation we are suspending our work experience programme for the foreseeable future.
Once the situation changes nationally we will re-introduce the programme and welcome applications at that time
At Inspire we offer a limited number of unpaid short Work Experience placements every year, typically up to a maximum of 5 days, which are open to:
- Young people in statutory
education (Year 10)
- Post 16 students
- Undergraduates
- Job Seekers
- Duke of Edinburgh students*
*DofE placements maybe longer and spread over a period by agreement.
Placements will be in either:
- Libraries / Nottinghamshire Archives: Focusing on developing
customer service skills and supporting service delivery in our busy libraries
- Inspire Offices: Focussing on business administration and
supporting our services
- Music Teaching*: Focussing on observing and supporting music teaching in schools
Our work placements will give you:
- A ‘taster’ for the job and help
to boost your confidence and provide a real learning opportunity
- Hands on experience that can help
you get a foot in the job market
- A chance to experience working in a new field if you are thinking to change career
For those people seeking an ongoing volunteering experience at Inspire – please see our Volunteering section for more information.
